Algebra.Com's Answer #634277 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! log 3 (3/4)(4/5)...(8/9))---everything cancels except for 3/9, or 1/3, the numerator. \n" ); document.write( "denominator log 3(4/5(5/6)...(9/10) or 4/10 or 2/5. \n" ); document.write( "This is log 3 (1/3)/log 3 (2/5) \n" ); document.write( "log 3 (1/3)=log 3 (1)- log 3 (3)=0-1 or -1. \n" ); document.write( "log 3 2/5 is log 3 2/log 3/5 \n" ); document.write( "you are dividing by the last, so you invert and multiply by -1. \n" ); document.write( "-log 3(5)/log 3 (2) \n" ); document.write( "That is log 3 (2)/log 3(5), or log 3 (2/5) \n" ); document.write( "Notice that -log3 (1/3) is -(log3 1-log3 3)= -(-1) or 1.
